I want to use the class described on the page found here on my SuSE 8.1. (It requiers the CommonC++ documentation to be installed.) file:///usr/share/doc/packages/CommonC++-doc/html/classost_1_1_string_tokenizer.html#_details How would one typically (correctly) include such a library in his code? If I follow K&R 2nd. Ed., they put the #includes for libraries in any .c file that relies on them. Is that technically necessarily? From my experimentation, id doesn't /seem/ to be necessary. All that is required to get the code to run is that the one of the header files referenced in the .c includes the particular library. But 'technically' correct, and stylistically correct are not the same thing. What is the prefered /style/? Is this CommonC++ library really common? If I put it in my code and distribute it, will a bunch of people curse me? Is it the best bag of trick to draw from for general functionality such as string tokenization. I'm writing for a QT/KDE environment. STH
